Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford clashed on This Morning on Thursday as guests Chris Ramsey and his wife Rosie watched on in stunned silence.
During a conversation about marital woes, Ruth, 60, confronted Eamonn, 60, about why he had left a packet of chicken open on the side in the kitchen as it had dried out.
Eamonn explained he’d wanted to eat his chicken sandwich and then he fell asleep, and it was clear Ruth wasn’t happy.
Chris and Rosie watched on via video link after appearing on the show to discuss their brand new book – S***ged. Married. Annoyed.
Later on, Eamonn confronted Ruth about their on-air spat, asking for a bit of appreciation from time to time.

Unhappy Eamonn fumed: “You spend this show criticising me. Just once I’d like you to say, ‘Thank you Eamonn, thank you for all you do for me.'”
Ruth teased: “Which is? I’m joking.”
Viewers tweeted their thoughts on the lovers’ tiff.
One said: “OMG. I love Eamonn. Falling asleep eating his chargrilled chicken sandwich.”
But another wrote: “Anyone else find This Morning so cringey when it’s Ruth and Eamonn? Don’t want to listen to them bickering and also so unprofessional.”

Chris and Rosie have a podcast too and Ruth and Eamonn wondered what theirs would be about if they made one.
But viewers didn’t seem interested in a potential Holmes Family podcast, taking to Twitter to have a laugh.
One said: “The Ruth and Eamonn podcasts. The podcast where they bicker about each other and Eamonn rips a strip off Ruth every few minutes.
“I would be sick of it after episode one, not going to lie. It’s funny for like two minutes.”
And someone else wrote: “Can you imagine Eamonn and Ruth doing a podcast? Minutes and minutes of Ruth trying to talk about things and Eamonn just talking over her and shutting her down.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
